NAME

burgerspace - a BurgerTime(TM) clone

SYNOPSIS

burgerspace

DESCRIPTION

burgerspace is a game where you are a chef and you must walk over
hamburger ingredients (buns, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese) to make
them fall from floor to floor, until they end up in the plates at the
bottom of the screen. Use the arrowkeys to move the chef.
However, you must do this while avoiding terrible enemies, such as
eggs, sausages and pickles. You will die if they touch you, but you
can spray pepper on them with the Controlkey to paralyze them
temporarily.
Use those pepper shots sparingly however, because you only have a
limited number of them. Pick up the treat that appears from time to
time to obtain a new pepper shot.
Use the Pkey to pause the game, and to resume it afterwards. Use the
Escapekey to quit the program.

BUGS

The sound effects may be annoying.
High scores are not remembered.
No attempt was made to emulate the exact behavior of the enemies in the
original game.
The meat looks rather unsavory, not to mention what it really looks
like. This is one image that was not drawn by Luce...
